Dan Hegarty – The Alternative

10.00pm RTÉ 2fm

This week the host’s featured album is Yes, Virginia..., the second release from American group The Dresden Dolls, who erupted onto the scene to a lot of noise from fans and critics back in 2006.

Described by the band themselves – pianist and vocalist Amanda Palmer and drummer Brian Viglione – as ‘punk cabaret’, their style is uniquely their own, as demonstrated in the tracks that Dan selects.

On tomorrow’s show, he also digs into the archive to fish out an interview with Amanda that was recorded back in 2006.
